This AEG was one I had salivated over ever since the mention of its production. It was so Unique! My first impression of taking this out of the box was that it was a solid piece of machinery, then I took it outside to fire. After 10 shots the gearbox locked up. I then sent it off to Echo 1 they returned it " repaired" I took it outside fired about 12 shots and bam! It locked up again! So I sent it off a second time and the returned it to me and the issue at the time had appeared to be resolved. One week later I flip the selector switch from safe to semi and it went flying of under my deck never to be heard from again. Then after my 2nd skirmish the AEG which is stuck in semi locked up again!!!!! So now I'm stuck with a big piece of aluminum and plastic that collects dust....

Pros:
Solid Externals
Light weight
Very accurate
Echo 1 customer support handled the two instances very professionally, thank you very much!

I LOVE THIS GUN!! I have had a KWA km4 ris, jg g36c, and a socom gear sopmod m4 and this gun tops them all. If you have the money, buy an 11.1v Lipo because this gun will blow your mind and scare the living s**t out of everyone. I bought mine at a local retailer and they customize it to shoot 450 fps and there is no doubt asgi can compete. I love the bolt catch and how loud it is. My ex navy father picked it up, shot it, and literally jumped because of the ROF. My guess right now is that it shoots 26-30 RPS (rounds per second) and if you think that's slow... You're and idiot. In Hawaii most fields have an fps limit of 500 so I'm fine with fps and I LOVE THE SOUND!

Product Information:
This has been a gun I've wanted ever since I saw it. I new what I wanted to do externally before I even thought about getting it. Out of the box I was very impressed. It's an extremely solid build over all. It feels like it's not going to break when you hold it. When I played with it the actuate range wasn't all that great but it's a CQB weapon so no big deal. After the PEQ box with battery and other attachments where put on it was a bit front heavy. However, I was still able to snap it up and get rounds on target quickly. It shot 380 with .2s out of the box with just me putting some deans connectors on.

Now I did have some issues. The PEQ box is made of cheap plastic. I over tightened the screw a little bit and cracked it. No big deal just got a better bigger PEQ to replace it. While at the shop getting the PEQ I wanted to get the trigger guard replaced with a Magpul PTS. But it seems that Echo 1 does not want their logo taken off and the piece that holds the trigger guard cracked and broke off. It seems the lower reciver is made of white metal and that place is just weak. The gun still shoots (I used it in a game afterwards and got some nice kills) but it needs to be glued back on now. These two things are why I'm giving it a three.

One last thing. The sling mount is a complete joke. I run the Irene Adaptive Sling and every time I brought it up I'd have to deal the clip in my face. Some 550 cord and I was golden though.

Besides all it's faults I love this gun it's my night weapon and CQB weapon and in that role it functions wonderful. It needs some gentle care but in a fight you can be rough with and it won't break. I spent a day in the woods with it playing how I normally do and had no issues what so ever. I think the part the broke was me being selfish and wanting it to be just a little different then other XCRs. If you get this gun be happy with what it is and don't hit it with a hammer to get the trigger guard pin out.

Product Information:
I have had the XCR for 5 months now, and I have this to say. It really is a fantastic airsoft gun, however my piston stripped... TWICE... Sure, I am running an 11.1v li-po in it. And I use it 2 days a week all day, but what drove me crazy is when the piston first stripped I opened the gun up for the first time... To my surprise, the stock piston is polycarb, only 1 metal tooth! Everything else about the gun was amazing. the construction, the gearbox, the M120 spring, just had a cheap piston for some reason. I now have a KWA piston in it and is works very well. I also put a 6.01mm barrel on it (247mm), a XM204 grenade laucher, madbull surefire suppressor 6.72in, King arms acog scope, and an 11.1v li-po inside a peq box. Customizing this weapon is fun no doubt!

Pros:
Top 5 attributes;
5. Construction. It feels like a real rifle, and I am serious. Compare the construction of this thing to any other AEG on the market and you will think everything else is held together with tape!
4. 45 degree selector switch, makes switching from safe to full the easiest thing in the world
3. this gun fires at 375fps stock. When I chaged the barrel and piston I gained another 10. So it doesnt shoot hard enough to inflict serious injury, but it shoots hard enough to get a point across.
2.accuracy was great even with the 6.05mm stock barrel. Switch it to a 6.01 and you will both expand the range and accuracy significantly!
1. With my 11.1v li-po... (drum roll please) it has a rate of fire of 26rps/ 1560rpm! You cannot even heard the report inbetween each shot. Airsoft Gi does not recommend you use a Li-po, but if you are like me and can replace any part like its no problem, do it!

Bottom line, this is the best short range AEG I can think of.

Cons:
5 worst aspects:

5.stock barrel does not have great range, replace with a tightbore.
4. The foregrip it comes with is a joke, I don't even know how you can call it a foregrip!
3. the "functioning bolt catch/release" fails after use.
2. not many battery options, but I use a Peq15 anyway.
1. Plastic piston! Drives me crazy such a celebrated gun would have such a lame piston on it. But even Achilles had his heel.

I love this gun!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've had it for almost a year now and it's great! It has the cool factor, it's very customizable and i can take it apart completely in 2 minutes! Also either C.Jones or R.Are are lying because they're both saying they got from the battle star box but only one was in there. I hope this is helpful.

Product Information:
Amazing gun! You can feel the quality just by holding the gun. Mine was chrono by ASGI at 405fps with 0.20 bbs. I equiped it with Magpul XTM rails cover, AFG, MBUS, and EMags. Also using a 551 replica. Overall amazing gun. Use it with a 7.4v lipo battery and deans.

Pros:
Extremely well built internally and especially internally.
Comes with a stubby vertical grip.
Very good FPS, perfect for field play with 0.25
MIdcap mag.

Product Information:
First off, thanks a million to ASGI because I won this gun off the Battle Star Mystery Box, w00t! Ok, onto the gun itself. Gun comes packaged in a nice box lined with foam. Here's what you get: Gun, 1 midcap(120 rounds i think?), Peq box for battery, foregrip, and a black replacement flashhider. Let's start with the accessories. Flashhider: made of nice metal, not much to say about it. Foregrip: stubby with rubber handle, no wobble at all. Peq box: holds battery, some plastic pieces may break off, use superglue. Midcap: feeds well, metal but lightweight.
Now onto the gun itself. The exterior quality is excellent with no scratches or defects upon first look. The gun itself is very lightweight for being full metal. Stock locks in place and has no wobble. Internals: Shoots around 400fps(I don't have a chrono, this was the number ASGI gave me) and has a great rof with a 9.6v. All the switches work great. This thing is loud due to the metal piston head, but i don't mind. Remember that this gun is OEMed by VFC, with a nice polycarb piston, self shimming gears, and a new split gearbox design.

Pros:
Build Quality
Performance
Weight
Unique factor

Cons:
Wish it came with battery
Needs more than 1 midcap, this is my first gun that uses AR15 mags, I have an m14 so its a bit of a transition

Bottom line, if you can afford it and want a great quality gun that stands out on the field, go for it!
